Spotlight on Rowan Stanley, 11th grade
PCCA at Gibbs High School, St. Petersburg
Rowan on Rowan ...
My name is Rowan Stanley. I'm 16 years old and a junior at the Pinellas County Center for the Arts at Gibbs High School. As clichéd as it sounds, I've been interested in art ever since I was a little kid, and that interest has just grown stronger over the years.
Art brings me a lot of happiness, even when I get frustrated with myself and my abilities; often it feels like it's just about the only thing I'm good at.
Though college is still a few years away, I hope to continue my schooling and eventually become a photographer for a major fashion house or magazine.
